People on the east end of a time zone love DST and people on the west end hate it. This is about the earliest it can happen as first Sunday is the second of April but next year it gets better. It will be the second Sunday of March. In the nest few years the beginning of DST will "march" down from March 11 to March 8.<br><br>As an east end of a time zone I say "Suuuuuuwheeeeeeat!!"<br><br>We can start soccer practice at 6PM earlier in the year. Who gives to sheets about that bright sunlight in the morning? Move it to the evening. Farmers in Indiana? Just go by your rooster you ninnies.<br><br><br><br>(__*__)(__*__)(__*__)(__*__)(__*__)(__*__)

Baton Rouge is in the bottom left of a time zone so feels much less effect to the tilt of the earth from winter to summer. Northern climes get jerked much more so a DST correction works wonders.<br><br>And as you just found out with Katrina, who gives a shi[i][/i]t what you think? <br><br><br><br><br><br><br>(__*__)(__*__)(__*__)(__*__)(__*__)(__*__)

I hate it because I've always had a real hard time waking up. I can remember being in the second grade, coming to a cold stop on my way to class and staring down the stupid clock.<br><br>"It's NOT 8 in the f@ckin' morning! It's really 7! I should still be home in my #@**^ bed!"<br><br>True story. Oh, and I learned to cuss at an early age ~ my dad worked the oil patch. Drove my grandparents crazy. <br><br><br><br><br>[color:blue]And I'm the one that jaded you . . .</font color=blue>

Right Trey<br><br>Here we are smart enough to NOT change our clocks.<br>Changing clocks is just a fools way into thinking they have an extra hour or not. Time never changes its forever constant , regardless if it gets darker or lighter sooner - but we can go simply back and change the setting on the clocks.<br><br>I guess it helps those with wild daylight shifts but means nothing when it comes to time as a whole.<br><br>

You have virtually equal day equal night throughout the year living near the equator. Try living at 47 North Lat and you will change your tune when the sun goes down at 4PM in the winter and 8:30PM in the summer.<br><br>I need to keep my kids out playing soccer until 7PM next week. That would be impossible without DST.<br><br>Does everyone who is bitching understand that it depends on where you are in latitude and where you are situated in your time zone that makes a big difference? Sorry you get screwed but the east coast calls the shots. <br><br><br><br><br>(__*__)(__*__)(__*__)(__*__)(__*__)(__*__)
